It's been a quiet month around here, but for a good reason...

Instead of weaving, I've been insulating, framing, and paneling my new weaving studio, one board at a time. The shell is finally finished, and I'll be moving my looms to their new home in a few days.

Today's reel is just me threading the next warp, but it feels good to be back doing what I love.
Now let's see what this new space inspires!!!

Restocking doesn't start on the loom... It starts here!

This warp is replacing one that's nearly sold out in my shop. Six colors, nine-yard warp, wound three colors at a time before they're combined into one warp.

It's just one of many steps before the first towel can be made!

Sometimes "restocking" means clicking a button.

Sometimes it means wearing your arms out with six cones of cotton.

This never gets old! 😁

Weeks ago, this was yarn.

Now it's 3.5 yards of linen shirt fabric, plus extra fabric for bias tape.

Next up: washing, finishing, and turning it into a shirt!

Not shirt fabric this time.

After weaving 3.5 yards of linen for the shirt, I switched to plain tabby for a small section of pink fabric.

That fabric will be cut into bias tape and used to finish the garment.

Because if I'm weaving a shirt from scratch, I might as well weave the finishing touches too!!!

Where the pattern begins!

From the front of the loom, I see fabric slowly growing.

From the back, I get to watch hundreds of threads working together to create it.

I don't usually see this view, but I think I should more often...
